Central Corneal Thickness and Intraocular Pressure in Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPregnancy causes an increase in central corneal thickness (CCT) and a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP), especially in the third trimester. However, there is very limited published data regarding CCT and IOP in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on diet control. This study is aimed to compare the means of CCT and IOP between pregnant women with GDM on diet control, healthy pregnant women, and healthy non-pregnant women.
methodsThis is a comparative cross-sectional study. A total of 184 women were recruited and divided into the following three groups: 61 pregnant women with GDM on diet control, 63 healthy pregnant women, and 60 healthy non-pregnant women as control. All subjects have undergone ocular examination during their 36-40 weeks of gestation. CCT measurement was done using a specular microscope and IOP measurement using a non-contact tonometer. Data from the right eye were analyzed.
resultsThe mean age was 32 (4.0) years in GDM on diet control, 29 (3.0) years in healthy pregnant women, and 27 (5.4) years in healthy non-pregnant women. The number of gravidas was 2.5 (0.8) in women with GDM on diet control and 2.3 (0.8) in healthy pregnant women. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the mean CCT in women with GDM on diet control compared to healthy pregnant and healthy non-pregnant women. The mean IOP is significantly lower in both pregnant women with GDM on diet control and healthy pregnant groups, compared to the healthy non-pregnant women group.
conclusionWomen with GDM showed significantly thicker mean CCT than healthy pregnant and non-pregnant women. The mean IOP is significantly lower in both pregnant women with GDM on diet control and healthy pregnant groups, compared to the healthy non-pregnant women group.
